1968 Map of Neponset Reservoir NW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Big Meadow and the valley of Saleratus Creek anchor this high-altitude landscape in Rich County, where water sources dictate the placement of ranching infrastructure. The map reveals a reliance on isolated water points like Cabin Hollow Springs, Harris Hollow Spring, and Halfway Spring to support livestock in the drainages east of the highlands. Significant landmarks include the Home Ranch and a remote Landing Strip, suggesting the logistics of remote mountain living during the late 1960s. To the southeast, the Neponset Reservoir provides a critical irrigation source for the region. The terrain is defined by deep cuts such as Wheatgrass Hollow and Meachum Canyon, leading down toward the flats where the Blue Grass Pond sits near the base of Red Hill.
